Compliance isn't a back-office problem anymore. It's a boardroom one.
That was the throughline at the CBT News Auto Leadership Summit on Fair Pricing and Compliance in Washington, DC yesterday — a conversation Impel Co-Founder & CEO Devin Daly helped close out alongside Jim Fitzpatrick, Founder and CEO of CBT News.
A few takeaways from the room:
→ FTC enforcement isn't a future risk. It's a current operating condition.
→ AI is already reshaping how dealers communicate price — and the compliance conversation is faster and more fluid than most manual playbooks and staff training.
→ The dealerships getting ahead aren't waiting for clarity. They're building the operational flexibility and infrastructure that enables real-time reaction to market and policy changes.
We're grateful to CBT News for convening the conversation, and to every dealer, legal expert, and policymaker, who showed up to push it forward.
